Ruth Silbermayr-Song is an Austrian illustrator and the face behind the blog China Elevator Stories (.com). She shares conversations with locals in China, writes personal stories of balancing life abroad, the ups and downs of marrying into Chinese society, and her journey from being pregnant in one of China’s vibrant metropolises in the southeast to raising her toddler son in a small town in China’s far-flung northeast together with her Chinese husband and the in-laws in close proximity.
